MONTREAL (AP) --- The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Montreal Canadiens went to
overtime for the third straight game Friday night, tied 2-2 after they split
the first two games of the series in Florida.
Kirby Dach tied it for Montreal with 7:17 left in the second period. He fired a
snap shot through traffic from the top of the right circle that got behind
goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy on the short side.
Game 4 is Sunday night in Montreal. The Canadiens took the opener 4-3 on Sunday
and the Lightning countered 3-2 on Tuesday night, both in the first extra
period.
Dach assisted on Alexandre Texier's opening goal at 4:53 of the first period.
Jakub Dobes stopped 15 shots through regulation.
Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel scored for Tampa Bay, and Vasilevskiy made 26
saves. In the third, Vasilevskiy stymied Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson on
breakaways.
Point tied it on a power play at 7:42 of the first. After Dobes was penalized
for tripping Yanni Gourde, Point took Jake Guentzel's centering pass and ripped
a shot past Dobes' blocker from the high slot.
Hagel gave Tampa Bay the lead at 4:47 of the second with his fourth goal of the
series. After a Montreal turnover at its own the blue line, Hagel beat Dobes
with a snap shot to the short side from the top of the left circle.
